Amazing Find!
Saw this app mentioned in Support Indie Week and bought it to support a fellow iOS Developer. Wow, how did I go so long without an app like this? The amount of times I’ve had to enter my drivers license code, a 16 character gift card guid, etc.. The draw and select is simple, accurate and consistent.
Very happy with the purchase!

WOW!
Could not believe what a great job it did with a tilted snapshot of a book page. Every word perfectly captured!
Works really well
The text recognition engine seems to work really well. The ability to search for words in real time is also pretty cool!
Magical
Magical, really. 5 stars
Incredible tool for text capture
The big question is “what is it for?” Well, I can tell you that I’ve captured full pages of text and small bits of text. I’ve “searched” for words and phrases in text snapshots. I’ve tested it on a variety of printed and hand-written things. WRD does an admirable job on everything, with a few understandable exceptions.
OK, you say, but what is it for? Well, I scanned my juror summons to get all the details in a note. Worked just fine. I scanned my resume to see how that would work. Great! So two uses are capturing text from mailed items, and capturing text from resumés. The important feature of finding and displaying text in highlighted annotations is amazing. You can add a bunch of words to the search field and WRD will highlight them all. For example, I searched for “I we she he us” and this resulted in a display of all the parts of a large page of text that were personal. Cool.
WRD copies text to the clipboard for moving into Wherever.
WRD is amazing for showing key words and phrases in snapshots on an iPhone or iPad, and capturing selected or all the text onto the clipboard. That’s what it is for. How you use it is up to you.
